Gifts From South Africa

Hello ^ - ^ My dad got back from his holiday in South Africa this morning, I was woken up rather early by Tolly barking very enthusiastically at the door - _ - As I'd been awake until 4am watching the meteor showers (it was quite cloudy but I saw a few) I was not a happy bunny. However once my dad had sat down and had a cup of tea I perked up because he'd bought me presents :D

Ever since I was little and my dad used to go on business trips a lot I'd invented the rule that if he was out of the country he had to get me a souvenir (don't worry I do the same back :P) so I was looking forward to my South Africa goodies :D

My dad's obsessed with penguins so he got me this cute keyring, it's huge so when I attach it to my keys hopefully I won't lose them so easily :P

Then there are the two necklaces, one is made of bone and is supposed to be a seal (I think...). The second is made of beads and paper rolled up, it has newspaper, magazines and even price stickers in it!

Finally I got a 'Great White Sharks No Swimming' magnet and lots and lots of leaflets on different companies which offer White Shark cage diving trips. My dad told me that if I find a good one (i.e. a company focused on education and conservation instead of exploitation and making money) then he'd take me at some point. It's been my dream ever since I was about 8 years old to swim with sharks so maybe a 21st birthday pressie? *fingers crossed* :P

Finally I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all of my readers and followers. A few days ago I reached 200 followers and over 10'000 page views. Thank you to everyone who reads, follows and comments :) It really means a lot to me <3 Love you all!
